City Overview

Tristar Worldwide is pleased to extend our Middle Eastern presence with the provision of our chauffeur services in Amman, capital of Jordan. The city is the largest in Jordan and its political, cultural and financial centre, with a long history dating back to the 13th century BCE. Amman is an excellent example of a rapidly developing Gulf city, and possesses a very westernized culture and liberal attitude, making it a popular destination amongst foreigners and Gulf citizens looking to cut loose and have some fun. A growing number of international companies have established bases in the city, a trend which is projected to keep increasing, thus making Jordan one of the three cities (the others being Dubai and Doha) to capture the most multi-national corporation activity in the Gulf region.

Top 5 Business Tips

- Learn a few phrases of Arabic, such as the traditional greeting and its response. This effort will certainly be appreciated.

- Jordanians may be up to thirty minutes late for meetings but tardiness on your part will be interpreted as rude and offensive, so aim to be on time.

- Friendship and personal relationships are valued in the Jordanian business culture. Make an effort to get to know your Jordanian colleagues beyond the business arena. Similarly, initial meetings are often devoted to establishing familiarity; expect to be asked personal questions about family and other aspects of your life.

- When making small-talk, do not ask your Jordanian colleagues about female family members, as this may cause discomfort and distrust. Other topics to avoid include politics and Israel, unless you are knowledgeable about the subject and can speak with confidence.

- Professional and conservative business attire should be worn. A formal suit and tie for men is acceptable; women should take special care with their appearance and ensure that clothing is smart yet modest.
